Can you quote any of them? I've followed the arguments of the
gun-rights crowd somewhat, and I don't recall seeing anyone insist
that they need full-auto weapons for hunting. I'd be interested in
knowing where I could find statements from people that they need
machine guns for hunting, got any links handy?

Just today:

"[FREETOWN, Sierra Leone] 'We have forced water into the building and
some of the snakes trying to escape were shot by our men carrying
AK-47s...About 250 of the estimated 400 snakes who had made the
[police] station their home have been killed."

Huh? Once again you have found no statement that people need machine guns
for hunting, all that you have found is that some cops in Sierra Leone used
their issue AK-47s to shoot snakes. What would you have had them do, waste
time and money going off and obtaining more politically correct firearms for
that one incident when the ones they were issued would do the job just fine?
